Professional Training Course on Epilepsy Awareness
Course Overview
When it comes to epilepsy, understanding the different types of seizures is crucial. With approximately 40 distinct types of seizures, it's essential to recognize that not all seizures are due to epilepsy. Statistics reveal that one in five individuals will experience a seizure at some point in their lives. This training course delves into epilepsy, a neurological condition that impacts the brain and nervous system, and is protected under the Equality Act 2010. Epilepsy can be a temporary condition for some or a lifelong challenge for others. Having awareness of epilepsy and knowing how to respond during a seizure is immensely valuable for professionals in health and social care.
